  1. Yes Ghozer thats what they are ding, they said in the winter they only have the heating on twice a week and switch the lecky off, none of them work, hes on disability for a bad back, they run 3 cars, think it says it all, but i aint listening to a generator running at night
  2. Thanks alice, its not so noisy but more annoying, sometimes , like the other day it was hot, we had the windows open and it smelled of petrol in the house. i was looking to see if there was any law about generating your own electricity in a residential house with elecrtic supply
  3. Hi my neighbour, 2 or three times a week has started running a petrol generator in their garden. Its turned on at around 7pm and turned off when i complain at their door, I dont know what they run from it they have a wire in through the kitchen door but they have a good electricity supply to their house the same as the rest of the street. Its a petrol one and quite noisy, if the winds in the wrong direction our house smells of petrol inside, i have 3 young children and they are in bed for 9pm. What can i do? whats the laws on this type of thing?
  4. My how time goes by a year since you left me, never a day goes by without a thought of you, miss you loads dad
  5. All im saying is we all work for a pitance and its the governments way to keep it like that. It shouldnt be allowed
  6. Its still blackmail, if you were to have 2 weeks unpaid leave from work to say go on holiday you wouldnt loose your tax credits or child benefit.
  7. Yes but tax credits are based on a yearly income. If a worker was to strike it would only lower his annual salary by a small amount and not affect his working tax credit or basic tax credit. What they are saying is strike for 2 weeks and your benefits stopped for 2 weeks. Nothing to live on so "if i were you dont strike" thats how it reads to me its blackmail.
  8. I know theres a big thing at the moment about benefit handouts but am i hearing correctly, the government is to announce that any low paid worker that goes on strike will loose there working tax credits and any benefits they get. Surely this is just short of communism. Its been every workers right to strike, this has gone on for donkies years. Its still the same nothing has changed but isnt this a sly way of stopping strikes? Are they saying youve got to work for nothing with no pension just shut up and get on with it? Bearing in mind we are in a deep recession and the likely hood of strikes is getting greater by the day. They cannot be allowed to pass this its aimed at low paid workers, the ones most likely to strike. This is just scarring people even more to just work for nothing, Isnt this just slave labour. Who ever voted these people in? http://uk.news.yahoo.com/benefits-strike-workers-stop-134907194.html
  9. Thanks yet again everyone what wonderful comments about shoeshine (my dad) His funeral was today and everything thing went well, even the vicar made it a humorous sermon. Was really nice, RIP dad You will be missed XXXXXXX
  10. Thanks all for your lovely comments again. i dont think shoeshine realised how many friends he had. Again thank you very much. Shoeshines (peter my dad) funeral is on Thursday 1st March at rotherham crem (the one near mushroon garage) at 3.40pm anyone is welcome if they wish to attend
  11. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17084634 They tried these government schemes years ago they never worked then and will not work now! They actually keep people from being employed! While ever a company get get free labour it will!! In 1981 i was sent to kiveton colliery on a YTS scheme for six months, they told me at the interview i wasnt going to get a permanent job at the end, they would just replace me with another on the scheme. Tescos and the benefits agency are saying that these schemes the government are providing are voluntary. You try telling them that at the job centre when youve been signing on 26 weeks. Something else as well is, its ok people in work scoffing at this situation but no jobs are secure you could find yourself redundant and have to do your job for nothing on one of these schemes!!!!
  12. Thank You all for your lovely comments, i dont think shoeshine realized how popular he was
  13. Shoeshine had many friends on the forum over the years, hes not been on much lately but just to let you know hes was my dad and he passed away this morning. RIP shoeshine xxxxxxxx
  14. I will be watching but without pride im afraid. all these cut backs and there spending millions on the olympics, its already double its original budget and could double again yet. I also remember booking tickets for the world student games in sheffield, the only tickets that were left were the cheap ones, in seats with no view. when i got there all the expensive seats were empty so i moved seats to a good one. I found out later the reason they were empty was because they were all reserved for the council and the developers. None of them turned up. The same happened at a yorkshire cricket night match a few months later. I feel sorry for the ones going to watch the olympics they will have had to go second best because the decent seats will be reserved. I do say though that lets not bring politics into sport and i hope all the english athletes all do well, youve got to remember it doesnt matter where the olympics are held the athletes still have to train the same in that effort for a gold.
  15. I like vodka specially with different mixers, like dandilion and burdock or cherryade just tastes like pop even with a 50 - 50 mix. vodka jellies with different flavours are nice. Ive been looking all over for slush puppy machine, an ex shop one. Slush and vodka yummy!
  16. Im 46 and started drinking when i was 16. Pub, mates and weekend it all went together, although i dont drink in pubs i still drink at home and after 30 years quite heavily!! Its become a problem. Knowing what i know now the best thing they could do is to make it like america. Drinking age 21. you can only buy alcohol from a liquor store (which i think are run by the state) even most resteraunts can only sell bottled beer. Theres no alcohol in supermarkets and off licenses dont exist. The kids do well at school and dont hang round street corners drunk and making a nuisance of themselves like they do here!!! At 21 they are mature enough to respect alcohol and dont go to night clubs and binge drink. What a wonderful world it would be!!!
  17. I would see it as funny really but thats just my SOH
  18. As far as im aware isnt it illegal to cut an OAPS gas and electricity off even if they have no money?
  19. Why do people just wheelspin? it gets them nowhere
  20. Did you know you have more rights when buying online rather than shopping on the high street? a few years ago they brought in what they call "the distance selling regulations" this was to give people more rights when purchasing online. when you buy in a shop you can touch, look and feel the product where as you cant online. this gives you the right to just send it back and get a refund.
  21. Our social workers let my partners 12 year old stay with his dad who is a sex offender, me and my patrner have done nothing wrong!!!
  22. We get trampled on over and over again, we have a bit of a winge then carry on regardless, its about time we stood up for ourselves instead of burying our heads in the sand!!!
  23. Ok so 79p for a track from itunes 21p in europe. £6 for a dvd in USA £12 here, when are they going to balance the books? Why should our internet access be controlled? Surely its against human rights? Its not controlled abroad they can do what they want, OH I forgot china they have theres controlled but im forgetting there a communist country. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/isps-launch-copyright-law-appeal-182757871.html f they get away with this its going to be like being told which tv channel to watch! Thought this was a free country. I just hope BT and talk talk win there case, if not we might as well sell our PC's, we will only be allowed on facebook and ebay!!!!
  24. We all say manufacturers are trying to keep prices down but all they seem to do is cut back on the amount you buy for the same price. Most places round and about have been selling advent calendars at 2 for £3, my little ones started theres today, when they opened the flap they were gutted at the size of the chocky, it was the size of my little finger nail!! i would have sooner paid a bit more for one but you cant, theres so much competition they are all cheap, and if you do find a dearer one they are still the same size, just a price rip off, what has it come to? in my day the chocks were the size of a 50p. Luckily my kids have got 2 advents each so £3 isnt cheap is it?
  25. what im saying le maquis is 2 adults on minimum wage wouldnt get any tax credit anyway, if they had children then they wouldnt be able to work those hours the child care costs would be too high, something else and this is a real con is that the benefits agency say you will be better off if you work! well thats partly true, what happens is as you say they pay tax credits but only until the following tax year, then you get a letter saying youve been over paid and you dont get any, then you have to live on your minimum wage only, plus if you havent got childen then you cant get tax credits, and the benefits agency pay up to £100 per week in housing benefit and all your council tax all has to be paid out yourself when working.
